    How to alienate your PVP community

    Fair enough I'll give you this one. Suppose the definition of MMO is up for dispute and I don't get any thrill out of debating it like an English teacher might. 🙂

    How to alienate your PVP community

    Sure. There's a huge difference in the feeling you get when playing an MMO that caps servers at 2500 but millions of people are playing. You have a sense of being in a larger community whilst still living within a smaller subset of that community. There's a big difference between that and...

    How to alienate your PVP community

    What in the world are you talking about. Classic wow sold 1.4 million copies in the first two years and at its peak had 118m people playing. I can't say for sure because I can't find any population statistics from the time period 2004 but just based on it being best selling game first 2 years in...

    How to alienate your PVP community

    In all fairness if we wanna break it down that way, it's definitely not a "massively multiplayer" game considering servers cap out at 2k.

    How to alienate your PVP community

    Yeah I feel for this game safe zones isn't the best answer because of the way resources are distributed. If you went with system like Albion you would need to put the best resources in FFA zones and the lowest grade resources in safe zones. I think just to make cities safe areas and make a...

    How to alienate your PVP community

    Lol yeah. I remember seeing on Albion forums people thinking MO2 would hurt the population of Albion. It hasn't even left a microscopic scratch and that's because pvp is too restrictive. That's coming from a full loot pvp game like Albion that also has safe zones and safe cities! Lmao. I'm still...

    Anti Zerg Mechanics

    Anti Zerg Mechanics

    Part of the reason parties should be a part of the game. Any action done by a member reflects on the whole group. Would have to have some kind of benefit though like dots on a compass to know where they are since SV been training people to play without party so long.

    Subscription:

    Problem is your gonna lose over half of those players once sub is added. Also, they plan to add more continents. Population is something that usually just goes down, unless a major change in game happens. On our current trajectory, we are bound to lose a lot more. So imo, 2k isn't enough for the...

    Subscription:

    I think they need to hit certain thresholds for me to consider it. Paying sub for a game which is still in beta/alpha feels like a slap in the face. It's like paying for the development of a game without any $ returns. That being said, I feel if they can make the servers stable enough that it...

    Are you paying?

    If they can get the servers fixed to allow 5k players without a que I might as long as more content is added by then. On principle I don't like the idea of paying sub for a game that's clearly not a full release. It's like paying for development of a game with no equity stake in the company lol...

    Parry rework help with outnumbered fights

    It wouldn't effect dueling. 1v1 mechanics would be the same with this mechanic. It's not nessecarily an anti zerg mechanic it's a mechanic that allows skilled gameplay rather than 3 people just hacking you to bits while cornered because you can't block 3 attacks at once if they are all different...

    Parry rework help with outnumbered fights

    I'm of the strong opinion that if parry was reworked to work like Chivalry 2 it would give people a chance at 1vx (outnumbered) fights if their skill was high enough. It works like this: if you parry any attack successfully, you have a brief window to riposte and it gives you a momentary window...

    Yeah if you could name bags that would be great.

    The Recent Pet Scare

    As much as I'm not a fan of censorship in certain ways I can accept it. What I would really like to see is more transparency in what you are doing to prevent and punish behavior like this. I think that would be important to show the community this isn't tolerated and you take it seriously...

    This game has a strong foundation (positive post)

    It has great potential and at the moment my favorite full loot MMO to play. Wishing the best for the future. Can really only go up from here if they do this right. Think about the fact they sold 110,000 copies. If they can ever fix the servers and allow at least 10k people to play at once they...

    The Recent Pet Scare

    Part of the problem is we're not allowed to talk about these things in discord lol. Sure, it protects some innocent people but it let's a lot more guilty people go free. Censorship in a social game for talking about people breaking rules, or actions taken against those people... idk man. I don't...

    The Recent Pet Scare

    I've already lost all trust and respect for SV. This post just proves why they don't deserve it. How is perma ban not the ONLY option? Every other succesful full loot PVP game hands out perma bans for this behavior like it's candy on Halloween. Its why their playerbase trusts them and these...

    Death

    I put other because I'm mostly dying to my inexperience. On my hybrid I was attacking bandits that used magic and or bows and I wasn't aware how strong they were. Got killed a couple times doing that. Got ganked once after dying to a bandit and he killed my horse that was left there and then saw...

    I am looking for a skill guide

    You'd have to explain more than that and even then I'm not the guy to answer you as I don't play mage. Perhaps check out the New Player Guides section, click Bear guides and look at the Alvarin mage build they have there. There's a good chance he's been in Haven for awhile and has his skills...
